Charlene had run across some African singing she really liked, so last night we tried to find a bit of it before we went to sleep. Looks like everything "Ubuntu Choir" on YouTube is AI generated. Along with all of the videos on Facebook. The slop really is taking over. Eventually we figured out that "gwijo" was a useful search term, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time for that to get slipped.

Went down to Marv's Big Sing https://www.singwithmarv.com with Riomas (formerly Shireen Amini, https://shireenamini.com ), and Rio's transformation has been accompanied by a shift from "good song leader" to "that was powerful and I feel compelled to learn those songs in order to share them".
